What Makes a Strong Semi-Rigid Cable Assembly?
The first step in designing a reliable semi-rigid cable assembly is identifying the specific needs of your equipment, work environment, and functionality. Your connection solution must deliver superior signal integrity and stability when integrated into your system.
Naturally, developing a custom semi-rigid cable assembly involves balancing flexibility and rigidity. While a semi-rigid cable should be flexible enough to form into your specific layout, it must also remain reliable and secure. Although it's tricky work, our ultra-precise engineering strikes this balance with pinpoint accuracy.
The adaptability required to create a robust semi-rigid cable assembly for each unique application is a particular strong suit at Meridian. Much like our cables, which remain reliable in diverse and challenging environments, our engineers adapt your cable design to meet your needs, which includes customization, cable links, conductor materials, sizes, etc.
We work closely with you to design a pliable cable assembly that meets the rigors and demands of any connection needs and work environment. When you work with Meridian, you can rest assured our team has what it takes to build a reliable assembly for your business.
Applications that May Require Semi-Rigid Cable Solutions
Countless applications exist for semi-rigid cable assemblies. However, not every electronic system requires them, as they demand high-frequency signal integrity and unwavering reliability. Some industries that may require more rugged features in their cable assemblies include military-grade electronic systems, aerospace engineering, and design, or industrial complexes.
In most cases, applications that demand more rigidity tend to value durability and reliability. Because demanding work environments cannot compromise high-performance functionality, these cable assemblies need to be tough as nails. These demanding applications often require high-frequency transmission signals to sensitive equipment, meaning everything from the conductor to the connector needs to be just right.
